MADISON, Tenn., Sept. 23 (UPI) -- About 70 people gathered at a candlelight vigil in Tennessee to mourn the loss of two infants and comfort the family of the mother accused of killing them.
Lindsey Lowe, 25, is accused of killing her twin boys a little more than a week ago in the bathroom of a Hendersonville home she shared with her parents, The (Nashville) Tennessean reported.
"God will help her and her family through this," said Laurie Evans, a former music director at the City Road Chapel United Methodist Church in Madison.
Lowe didn't want her parents to know she was pregnant and had put her hands over the babies' mouths to silence their cries, then put their bodies in a laundry basket, where her father found them, police said.
Lowe, who is charged with first-degree murder, was released on $250,000 bond.
Flowers, gifts and notes to the Lowe family sat on the altar at the church.
"We love the Lowe family and believe in Lindsey," Evans said. "She's a precious girl."
Zach Johnson wept as the crowd sang "Amazing Grace."
"Those are two little angels, two little angels," he said.
Ron Lowery, senior pastor at the church, said the Lowe family has attended the church for three generations.
"They are in tremendous pain right now," Lowery said. "Things come along in life that you just don't understand. … We have a God and we cannot give up our trust in him. Faith can help us through this time of tragedy."
